unwise policy on the part of the gov-
ernment.
In a general way the function of a
surplus of undivided and undistribut-
ed earnings is to allow the periods of
prosperity to lend a helping hand to
periods of depression, to allow the
fat years to make provision for the
lean years, thereby acting as a cush-
ion mitigating the' ill-effects of a fall-
ing off of business; to allow a corr-
poration to act as any provident hu-
man being must act in order that he
may be provident Furthermore, ac-
cumulated profits are seldom In the
form of cash, but in most instance*
have been reinvested in the business
and are therefore not subject to divi-
sion and distribution."
If a lean year comes, as sooner or
later it eventually will, and the gov-
ernment has taken accumulated sur-
plus of a corporation by way of tax- •
ation. obviously it cannot expand its
business. and indted mav be forced
to shut down or reduce its output,
with the resultant consequence of re-
ducing the number of its employes
The ramifications of business are so
intricate and widespread that unwise
tax legislation op. rates injuriously
throughout the whole realm of busi-
ness.— Houston Chronicle

were ip danger and after the depart-
ure of defendant for work on said
date plaintiff and her sister raft away
from said hotel, since which time
plaintiff and defendant have not lived
together as husband and wife.
Plaintiff would further show that
defendant was of foreign blood,
German-Bohemian decent—and
he had often said to plaintiff and her
sister that he was going to return to
the "old country" and quit her and
that she has been informed that de-
fendant did actually leave for Ger-
many with the Intent of never he-
turning.
Plaintiff alleges that defendant's ac-
tion and cruel conduct, his abusive
threats and treatment are such that
she cannot further live with him as
husband and wife, the premises con-
sidered; that said abandonment has
continued for more than three years.
Wherefore plaintiff prays the court
that defendant be cited to appear and
answer herein and for judgment dis-
solving said marriage relations to-
gether with the restoration of her
name, to-wit Lizzie Wetzel,
for coats of suit ami for such other
and further relief in
equity that she may
titled to.

I should do but that defendant unmind-
ful of the duties and obligations of
his marital vows in a few days after
their said marriage began a course
of cruel and harsh treatment of her
which continued until she win com-
pelled to abandon him.
Plaintiff would further show to the
court that in tlie year 1*17 that this
defendant, who is a man some fifty
years of age, and being some thirty
years senior of this plaintiff, was en-
gaged to labor on the farm of plain-
tiff’* mother and that at that time she
resided with tier mother near the town
of Rosebud, Texas, and that defendant
continued to labor for her mother un-
til som« time in 1*1* when he quit his
work there and went to Houston
where he obtained employment as a
machinist. That after obtaining such
employment he returned to her moth-
er's said home and insisted and re-
quested of her mother that this plain-
tiff and her then Hi-year-old sister be
permitted to return to Houston with
defendants for the purpose of visit-
ing and an outing, and that the motb-

porations by the federal
have been the subject
'n J criticism. As soon as the national
,el legislators aee that a lot of corpor-
sisterjaUoas have made, in a proaperotta
year, large profits, they at once lay a
heavy tax on profits, apparently for-
getful or ignorant of the fact that
lean years will come when there will ;
be no profits.
For such years there will be. of
course, no excess profits tax to pay. ,
but the fact should not be lost sight
of that the very important function
of accumulated profits is to assure
expansion of business as well as the
payment of some dividend to stock-
holders.
That fact is obvious to every buai-
; news man and ought to be to every
man of even ordinary intelligence.
in an address before the National
; Wholesale Dry Goods Association,
Barret Montfort, assistant to the
president of the Chemical National
Bank of New York, points out what
many legislators appear not to know,
that wealth is not created by taxation,
but is merely distributed, and that in
consequence the forced distribution
of the profits of corporations would
be to increase the frequency and pro-
long the duration of periods of un-
employment.
The inevitable result would be to
do injustice to and inflict injury on
wage-earners. The following extract
, uom t"e very able address will com-
mend itself to the judgment of every
capable business man:
‘ Revenue is directly dependent up-
on the taxpayers' ability to pay taxes,
' and this ability to pay is dependent
: upon the ability to do business at a
profit. To adopt a plan of taxation
I which would have the effect of seri-
ously impairing the ability to do bus-
i inesa at a profit would then seem aa
When it copies to the matter of en-
acting legislation relating to taxa-
tion. congressman and legislator alike
often demonstrate a lamentable lack
of knowledge both of the principles
of taxation and of the fundamental.
laws of business. »
Those who enact tax laws are!
prone to go at the task backwards.
Instead of proceeding upon the ob-
viously only correct theory, that the
expenditures of the government
should be bused on revenue and not
revenue on expenditure, they first
make stupendous appropriations, and
go out on a predatory taxing crusade
to find objects to tax. to supply the
money to pay what they have appro-
priated It never seems to occur to
them to first ascertain how much rev-
enue can be provided within such
limits of taxation as will not be harm-
fully burdensome, and then cut the
garment* of the appropriation* bill to
get the cloth of the revenue.
We have Just now in Texas a re-
grettably forceful illustration of that
kind of legislation. The laws relat-
ing to the taxing of the profits of cor-
rovernment
of deserved
er of this plaintiff, apd this plaintiff
and her sixteen-year-old sister, think-
ing from the past conduct of defend-
ant that he was a sane and safe man
with whom these two said
girls could travel, after questioning
him of his good intentions toward
the mand the obtaining of a believ-
able earnest statement that he was
kindly disposed toward them, that he
more like a father to them than other-
wise. the mother of this plaintiff per-
mitted her two girls, plalnitff and her
sixteen-year-old sister to spend a day
in Houston with defendant and at his
expense.
Plaintiff further alleges that de-
fendant advanced tlie car fare for all
three of the parties to Houston and
that he seemed Inclined to be kind
and generous to them and that upon
their arrival in Houston they repaired
to the Milby Hotel. That soon there-
after defendant left them a; the hotel
and after being gone for a short pe-
riod of time called at the room of
plaintiff and her sister and insisted
that plaintiff herein accompany him
to a walk on the street and that In
their walk defendant led plaintiff to
a house a few blocks from said hotel
and there produced a marriage li-
cense and requested that plaintiff
marry him, which this plaintif then
and there refused to do and created
such an uproar that defendant tor
the time being abandoned the idea
and returned to the hotel. That upon
returning to the hotel defendant curs-
ed and abused both plaintiff and her
sister and said that he would dump
plaintiff and her slater in the street
to starve and wjth this treat and
divers of other threats and abuses,
this plaintiff did on said 18th day of
January, being the same day of their
arrival at the city of Houston and in
the Milby Hotel agree to marry de-
fendant for the sole nnd only purpose
of gaining the good will of defendant
and that she and her sister might not
he abandoned in a large city w ithout
funds and friends.
Plaintiff would further show the
court that she iive<i together with de-
fendant for a period of three days,
and that during such Hme defendant
became more cruel and threatening
with plaintiff, accusing her with im-
moral conduct with and toward other
men. despite the fact that she was a
country girl, ignorant and had al-
ways lived a moral life theretofore.
The threats of defendant finally on
the third day led plaintiff to belter
